Manager Stub Bandle reports that the
players signed for the Omaha team will
all be in the city in about two weeks. AS
soon as they all arrive the stockholders
of the Omaha club will probably have
banquet and social gathering to give
the boys an opportunity for getting ac-
quainted with each other.
The plans for the new grand stand
have been completed by Architect
Voss and call for neat and commodi-
Gus structure. A number of bids nave
heen received Tor the construction of the
work, which will be commenced as soon
as the weather will permit
The street car company has agreed to
aid literally in the construction of the
fence and grand stand and also promise
to increase their accommodations on the
day on which games are played. AT
such times they will have cars run to
and from the grounds on both the red
and green lines every three mnute9.
This will be an accommodation that will
doubtless be greatly appreciated by the
patrons of the games.

During the first seven miles which were
ridden extraordinarily fast, Eek gained
on Prince, getting almost within twenty
yards OF his wheel. The first mile being
accomplished in 2:53 Prince however,
gradually pulled away from him and
gained one lap. He finished the winner
in the time of hour, minutes and "a
seconds.
The race was the most exciting ever
run on this track, and the crowd whooped
and yelled from the start. Even the

The following is self-explanatory:
We, the undersigned, desire to return our

have not been able to do ourselves justice.
However, we hope to return soon and show

PRINCE WINS.

"A Great Crowd.

The Bicycle Tournament Last Night
"A Great Crowd.
The bicycle tournament at the exposi-
ton building last night was great sue
cess, both SO far as concerns the
merits of the different riders and the
attendance. That the audience was
large-one of $500 people-was due
partly to the immense amount of
free advertising that John s. Prince has
received lately, and partly to the love of
the Omaha public for fair play. The
size of the audience was in fact com 4
plete vindication of Mr.. Prince, and
shows how little stock Omaha people
take in the malicious and utterly ground.
less attacks that have been made upon
him. This is certainly gratifying not
only to Mr.. Prince but also to his friends,
who rallied well to his support last night
The first race was n mile dash between
two colorcd youths, John Riceton and
Mott.
The latter gave his opponent half lap
start and lost. Time-'3:45.
The second event was ten-mile race
between Charles w. Ashinger and Frank
Dingley' During the first five miles
Dinglcy spurted and gained over half a
lap on the Colorado man. Tho latter,
however by a tremendous squirt of speed
made up the distance, and passing Ding
ley, finished over lap ahead of him.
Timc-3l;e? Dingley was in bad shape,
having failed TO recover from the de-
pressing effects of his SNOWFALL .icicle ex-
perience, Considering the condition he
was in he made II remarkable showing.
1t was nearly Il quarter of 10 O'Clock
when the two principal contestants of
the evening. Prince and Eek, made their
appearance ON the track. They were
! started on opposite sides OF the track

untimely death on the west end of the
Union Pacific bridge. He was on his
way to his boarding house on South

to the bridge. He had his hat
pulled down oyer his eyes to protect
them from the flying sand and was grad
ually feeling his way along the ties,
when he was struck by passing engine
and hurled from the bridge. He fell
distance of nearly thirty feet and landed
on the pavement on the Slxth.
dust that was blowing at the
time so obscured the young
man that his presence on the track was
not observed by the engineer. Rack
was picked up and removed to ST.

o'clock. HIS back was broken by the
fall and he was otherwise cut and bruised.
The deceased was but sixteen years of
age, and has lived in Omaha but few
weeks. His parents live at Stanton,

graphing department of the Herald. The
parents of the young man were notified
